Hi guys, today i got my two new achatina immaculata juvies from linz (thanks so much! ;D ) and i had to show them off. The pics are not great but at least you can tell they are snails must eat all the food in the house starting with this top is possibly called toffee bottom might be called fudge yum yum hello! This is a stretch lol eating rachels hand cos i'm STILL hungry They are lovely little snails, apart from the fact they ate a HUGE lettuce leaf and loads of cuttle fish in about five mins then tried to eat me, little wotsits still need names though, i was thinking mabye fudge for the little one and toffee for the big one but i'm not sure

They look like right little characters and I think the names you have suggested suit their colouring very well

Aww they're cute beautiful colours. Is that green mossy thing they're sitting on in the first 3 pictures a hanging basket liner?

Here are some more pics: Fudge on the lettuce fudge and toffee are all over the cucumber, with fudge also starting to squash poor toffee fudge examining a hole in the basket toffee's heading for the cucumber before fudge comes back with a quick munch on some lettuce on the way

a little update: Toffee has grown 2.5cm new shell and fudge has 1.9cm new shell growth. Both seem to be determined to eat everything in my local shops, the went through a HUGE pile of food overnight, an amount eaten i'd only expect of three full grown tigers (i guess they like my carrot and swede mash ) And they ate all their good sized fern just after. At the moment they are siting next to each other in front of me, they like to just look around aparently, they've sorta smooshed themselves down with their eyestalks poking up (mabye enjoying my wonderful music taste? lol, joke, my music taste rocks but since snails can't hear).
